Models involving large extra spatial dimension(s) have interesting predictions on lepton flavor violating processes. We consider some 5D models which are related to neutrino mass generation or address the fermion masses hierarchy problem. We study the signatures in low energy experiments that can discriminate the different models. The focus is on muon-electron conversion in nuclei, $\mu\ra e \gamma$ and $\mu\ra 3e$ processes and their $\tau$ counterparts. Their links with the active neutrino mass matrix are investigated. We show that in the models we discussed the branching ratio of $\mu\ra e \gamma$ like rare process is much smaller than the ones of $\mu\ra 3e$ like processes. This is in sharp contrast to most of the traditional wisdom based on four dimensional gauge models. Moreover, some rare tau decays are more promising than the rare muon decays.
